Roland Emmerich

Born: November 10, 1955 in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

I came to film school in 1977 when directors like Fassbinder and Wenders were everybody’s heroes. But it was also the time that Star Wars and Close Encounters came out, and these were the seminal movies for me. Everybody is always so careful about these things. I mean, I’m good friends with Wim Wenders, but it doesn’t mean I have to like his movies. Some of them, I like. Most of them, I find boring. And I would tell him that to his face.

[on Bob Fosse] Fosse, I think, came to a high point in his life, with an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy, and asked himself, “Do they think I’m really that good? They don’t know I’m really a sham, a hoax, a phony, a lousy human being, not much of a friend to anybody and a flop… they don’t know I’m covered with flop sweat.” That’s an expression Bob uses a lot — flop sweat

All that Jazz 1979 dir. Fosse

[on the universal popularity of ‘Downton Abbey’] We have a word in England: gob-smacked. I don’t know if it translates. Overwhelmed is an understatement.

[on the appeal of Downton Abbey (2010)] It’s Breaking Bad (2008) with tea instead of meth.

Often we’d secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn’t that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to – and all without hurting anybody. Look at that lovely girl I’ve just shot!

[on Jimmy Fallon on “SNL”] …laughing and all that dumb ep] he used to do. He wouldn’t mess with me because I didn’t ep]ing play that s–t. That’s taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, ‘Oh, look at me, I’m the cute one.’ I told him not to do that s–t in my sketches, so he never did.

Really skinny actresses make me hungry. I see them and think, ‘Honey, you need to eat!’

I got in my head that my goal as a songwriter was to write songs for people who didn’t write songs – the moms who are driving their daughters to see Taylor Swift.

I take pride in being a normal size person. Girls come up to do meet and greets and are like, ‘Thank you for being normal. You make it feel like it’s attainable for us.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re welcome! Go have burger.'”

Neil Gaiman

Born: November 10, 1960 in Portchester, England, UK

It’s not a bad thing for a writer not to feel at home. Writers – we’re much more comfortable at parties standing in the corner watching everybody else having a good time than we are mingling.

[his novel] The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a novel of childhood and memory. It’s a story of magic, about the power of stories and how we face the darkness inside of us. It’s about fear, and love, and death and families. But, fundamentally, I hope, at its heart, it’s a novel about survival.

This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubt on their existence. Or lack thereof.
